...and their excellent popcorn is free or only a dollar for a huge. :-)

on the popcorn deal. Large popcorn and medium diet coke here, $11.25. Y'all got it good in Phoenix!When I was in college I had a job with the State Dept of Revenue, basically filing tax returns. As I was an accounting major I often reviewed the partnership returns which were set up like an income statement. Even then, back in the 60s when the largest popcorn was under a buck, the majority of gross incomes from theater operators was from concessions. (3 theater partnerships in town that owned all the theaters)

When one buys a ticket wearing the T-shirt, one receives a voucher for a free medium-size popcorn. Pay a dollar more and one gets a Large bag which is refillable (for free), once (= 2 Large bags for a dollar). If one is REALLY lucky, the clerk will fail to mark the bag before he/she refills it, which means one can get it refilled again. :-) On average, I'd say I get 3 Large bags per dollar.
The soda cup is refillable all year for $1.50 per fill.
All that means I get a movie, Coke, and LARGE popcorn for $8 or $9. Lucky me indeed.
* and donates a significant part of that revenue to local charities.

by Cinemark. Other than a couple of Angelikas and a Magnolia who don't seem to mind following Cinemark's concessions pricing model we don't really have a choice as to where to see first run movies.
